Volunteers Are EssentialWe need your help to make this work. We offer lunch credits to volunteers: when you complete a lunch volunteer shift, you earn one free lunch for your child! This is also a great way to stay connected with your teenager and share their experience in middle school. You can sign up to volunteer once a week, twice per month or once per month. Lunch shifts are Monday – Friday, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Food Provider is The LunchMasterThe food provider for Hillview hot lunch is The LunchMaster. They are a web-based food supplier that allows parents to order lunch online for as many days as they choose, and for multiple schools. Meals are delivered to Hillview’s kitchen, and a team of parent volunteers sets up and serves the food to students.
